Gishmak story, loved to read, but one correction, we all know I-Y16419 was the Y of the original Semites ;)

Not very well versed in linguistics so most of this flew over my head, but great stuff as always.

Keep up the good work

Hey thanks, I'm always wary of going too deep into the linguistic stuff because this has the potential to bore the readership, if this makes the post unreadable do not hesitate to say so.

Good write-up, the fact that the earliest J lineages are rooted among Northeast Caucasians is evident. Less scientifically, many Chechens look like the lighter, heavily-bearded element among Jews, Druze and other North Levant people, though without the very diluted African features carried by those Levant groups ( which are probably a remnant of around 5% African ancestry in Natufians). Those Alarodians were probably already a mix of Iran Neo, Anatolia and some CHG when they blended with the E-dominant Natufian people.
